Power Seats, Front

Warning!

Do not adjust the driver's seat while

driving. Adjusting the seat while

driving could cause the driver to lose

control of the vehicle.

Never ride in a moving vehicle with

the backrest reclined. Sitting in an

excessively reclined position can be

dangerous. You could slide under the

seat belt in a collision. If you slide

under it, the belt would apply force

at the abdomen or neck. That could

cause serious or even fatal injuries.

The backrest and seat belt provide

the best restraint when the wearer is

in an upright position and the belt is

properly positioned on the body.

Never place hands under seat or near

any moving parts while a seat is

being adjusted.

The slide switches are located in each
front door.

Warning!

When leaving the vehicle always

remove the electronic key from the

steering lock.

The power seats can also be operated

with the driver's or passenger door

open. Do not leave children

unattended in the vehicle or with

access to an unlocked vehicle.

Unsupervised use of vehicle

equipment may cause serious personal

injury.

Turn electronic key in steering lock to
position 1 or 2 (with the driver's or
passenger's door open, the power seats
can also be operated with the electronic
key removed or in steering lock
position 0).
